WASHINGTON, Jan. Hon. B. G.
Caulfield, of Deadwood, is at the National
for few days. He says that he left the
Hills Dec. IS with no intention of coming
farther east than st. Louis, but was in
duced to change his mind while in the latter
city. He AYERS that he has never thought
of being candidate for the Deadwood land
Office registership. He has Endorsed no one
and has given the matter not moments
consideration. He has seen several of his
Illinois friends and has been at the interior
department several times. Appointment
Clerk HasSler will not deny that Caultield
is in the field, nor will he affirm that he is
an applicant for the Deadwood office.
Others are more communicative and allege
that Gov. Church has Endorsed his applica-
ton for that position. The office pays
So, 600 per annum and MI. Caulfiel6 says
that the law business is dull in Deadwood.
Mr.. O'Connor, an attorney of this city, who
formerly practiced in Deadwood, says that
that land office is better than any law prac-
tice in the Hills, except the practice of Van
else d Wilson, as it used to be few years
ago. Mr.. Caulfield says that Rapid City is
not much Of place, but all Deadwood peo-
pie say that
THERE Is A RIVALRY
between those fiourishing cities Concern
ing the attitude of the Hill country toward
the opening of the Sioux reservation. Mr..
Caulted states that the people are very
anxious for the passage of the bill for that
purpose. They have not sent special del
egation here to work for the measure, but
they have contributed, when called upon,
to the support of those who have been sent
here in all of their incidental and other
necessary expenses. He regards the reSer-
Walton as fertile desert, made so by its
occupancy. 1t is his eXpection and belief
that Gov. Church will take some action in
the matter of the opening of the reserva-
ton which will induce the active support
OF the administration. AS to the appoint
ment of Judge Church to the governorship,
he says nothing could have pleased me
better" He Endorsed Judge Church for the
position. and urged the appointment with
his friends because he believed that no
other appointment would be satisfactory to
the entire people. The selection of any
other man would have been the signal for
the reward of friends and the punishment
of enemies" because of the strong and Bit

He wears mustache which is dark gray,
bristling. solderly. He dresses neatly. has
a dignifed appearance, and would undoubt-
edly have made
AN EXCELLENT GOVERNOR
had he been appointed to that position, as
it seemed at one time he would be. He de-
MES that he is lat outs'' with Day, Nc
COrmack, Maratta or any other leading
Democrat Of the territory, notwithstanding
the reports to that effect which have been
rife for some time past. 1t is his expecta-
ton that that he will be able to return to
DeadwoOd within week or ten days at
farthest. Mr.. Caultield had Just heard of
the resignation of Marshal Maratta and his
probable appointment to the territorial
authorship. He says: Il should hate to
see Dan give up the marshalship, for he has
been an excellent officer. But, we need
good man for auditor, and | should be graf
flied to see him placed III that position. He
would make good one, and an honest one,
too. l know that his relations with Judge
Church Fare of the most cordial kind, and
am not surprised at the rumor. 1t is likely
to prove correct" MI. Frost fears that the
presence of Mr.. Caulfield in the city will
play havoc with his CHI anceS for the Dead
WOOu ONlce. NOTWITHSTANDING Tie promising
status of the case in his behalf Should
the friends of MIR. Caulfeld from Illinois
unite with his Dakota friends there is but
little doubt of his success, if he is really
after that Office. He is exceedingly popular
with the leading Democrats of Illinois. and
they will willingly work for his advance
ment in any direction indicated by him.
The Keys Were There.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA Dakota man
who has been on the trail of an office for
some time, recently ran congressman into
his den in peculiar manner. Being er-
sistent in his calls upon the member from
Illinois, that astute legislator considered
himself bored by the Dakota trailer. So
he locked both doors of his handsome par
lors, and when the Dakota man came to see
him he refused to answer his knock. Four
or five calls were made in one day, but
always with the same result. Finally the
Dakota trailer met his congressional friend
in the house lobby of the capitol and re-
preached him for his conduct. The con-
gresham declared that he was not in. and
knew nothing of the calls. THAT won't
do to work on me" said the Dakotan. Il
looked into the keyholes of both doors of
your parlors, and the keys were there"
The congressman called for cigars,
acknowledged the corn and swore he'd
never try to fool an old trailer again.
